Qatar Airways opens premium lounge at Heathrow
30 Jan 2012
Qatar Airways has opened a premium lounge at Heathrow airport, underlining the importance of the airline's route from London to Doha, which is one of the busiest in its network.
The new facility, which is situated at the UK hub's fourth terminal, is the carrier's first dedicated lounge for first and business class passengers outside Qatar.
It was designed in the style of a boutique hotel or private members' club and offers amenities including private showers with heated floors and luxury toiletries.
Guests can also access PCs, printers and free wireless internet services throughout the lounge.
Introducing the new facility, Akbar Al Baker, chief executive of Qatar Airways, said: 'London has long been one of our best-performing routes, so Heathrow was an obvious choice for our first premium lounge outside Doha.'
The opening marks the beginning of a year that the airline expects to be very busy, with developments including an increase in frequency on the London Heathrow to Doha route from four to five flights per day.
